Wiki Laparoscopy with excision of lt.ovarian dermoid

[cynthiaj54]

I'm trying to help code this and I can't seem to find a correct code. 58925 is not laparoscopic and none of the laparoscopic codes seem to fit.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

look at 58662

I would also use 58662

Bless you!!

It was excised and removed, not destroyed. Do you feel that this still fits?
Thanks

I would still use 58662 because CPT code states Fulguration or Excision by any method- Trocars deliver surgical instruments (scissors, electrocautery tools, etc.)

Thank you so much for all your help.
